Palit GTX 260 SONIC should be enough although I am not sure if your PSU can handle it. It should be available for less than 11k.

my pick would be Sapphire HD5850 for 17k. this price should come below 15k in a month. this is the only card that does justice to the price tag among new dx11 cards.

Bad question. Both are good in their own way. Why do you need the graphics card? Gaming? 3D work? What?

Then better wait for Fermi to launch. It should reduce the price of ATI 5850 and then get whichever performs better. You can wait right?

Fermi is nvidia's next architecture, i.e, the next GPU series from nvidia. Google it, it has a lot of features which will help your work, i.e designing/gaming.

Check back in december if you can wait..
And fermi is likely to be launched at a pretty high price!!
BTW I'd say get GTX275 if you want to buy now!

Don't go for GTX 275. It is not a Direct X 11 card, its a Direct X 10 card and performs marginally better than ATI 4890 which is priced at 12k.
So the 14k price tag is not justified, at least now when the Direc tX 11 cards are emerging.
My suggestion is waiting 1/2 months for the price drop in Dx 11 cards and go for the ATI HD5850 instead. It is far better than any of the present Direct X 10cards. It performs better than the mighty GTX285, most powerful single GPU offering from Nvidia.

These cards are available in online shops. So even if you don't find in Nehru Place, you can find it from lots of online shops. Probably it will be available in your place after 1 or 2 months. Just wait for some times.
You can check the price in *www.lynx-india.com.

You don't need a credit card to buy online dude! The world has progressed a lot. Go to www.lynx-india.com and take Amarbir's contact number. He is the owner of the site/shop. He has the cards in stock IIRC. Talk to him about payment. He will tell you how you can pay. No need for a credit card. He also ships to Delhi real fast AFAIK.

I have given you the link. If you don't wish to buy online, then get the MSI from Nehru place. But if you want to buy online, then get it from the link I have provided. The seller is a very reputed dealer. :)

Both will be the same. The core is ATI.

Just see the bundle, and choose the lowest price.

Else flip a coin....!!!!!!

Well, you could wait for the Fermi but only God knows when it is coming out. Yeah, I hear all you booing and saying that it is coming this December but I don’t think nV will be able to achieve this deadline considering that the sample showed in their expo was a fake one and they’re struggling with a lot of other problems. They only recently have launched a DX10.1 card and seems like they’re having troubles implementing DX11 support too. So, keeping all this in mind, I’d suggest getting the HD5850 right away and Enjoy the highly immersive graphics experience now.

If its 15k then definitely you can stretch it to 17k and get HD5850. HD5870 is 25k.

Sapphire 5850 is better. If you can't find it in Delhi then ask guys at www.yantraonline.in. They have listed the same at Erodov.com and are based in Delhi. I think you can buy without credit card.
